- signal generator HP 8656B for Hewlett-Packard
- spectrum analyzer HP 35665A from Hewlett Packard
- power electronic inverters VLT5032 (40 hp) and VLT5005 (5 hp) from Danfoss
- three-phase induction motor, 230 V, 40 hp, 60 Hz, 6 poles
- dc generator, 240 V, 40 hp, 1750 r/min, with a 180 V, 5 A exciter and cooling blower
- rotary torque meter 48004V from Himmelstein
- resistor bank FHJ46 (40 hp, 230 V) from Filnor
- microcontroller and DSP development kits from Motorola and Texas Instruments
